John PinetteDuPont Theatre 11/29-11/29/2013
Comedian John Pinette's show originally scheduled for September 20th at the DuPont Theatre has been moved to Friday, November 29th at 8pm. Pinette has announced he is checking into a rehabilitation clinic this month after developing an addiction to a drug prescribed following surgery earlier in the year. Tickets purchased to the original date will be honored November 29th. A full refund is available at the original point of purchase for those who cannot attend the new date. Tickets for the November 29th show are on-sale now at duponttheatre.com, 800.338.0881, or at the DuPont Theatre Box Office. Tickets are $38.75 plus applicable service charges. This is an all ages show.
When describing his own stand-up, Pinette says "I talk about my life; it is the funniest thing I can think of." His latest comedy special "Still Hungry" debuted on Comedy Central in 2011. The food-obsessed, storytelling Pinette, delivers smart, original, Bill Cosby-influenced observations on everyday life. "Still Hungry" is a follow-up to his successful "I'm Starvin'!" and "Show Me the Buffet" CD's and DVD's.
John Pinette is no rookie to the stage. For the past eighteen years, Pinette has been in entertainment one way or another. Once he realized he could use his knack to make people laugh and turn it into a career, he left his job as an accountant and began touring Comedy Clubs around the country.
He caught his big break when he was asked to tour with Frank Sinatra and he's since become a regular guest on The Tonight Show and The View. Most recently, Pinette came off the theatrical stage and to the stand-up stage after wrapping up his starring role as 'Edna Turnblad' in the winning Broadway musical Hairspray.
His note-worthy accomplishments include being named Stand-Up Comedian of the Year by the American Comedy Awards in 1999 and he was also nominated for a Gemini Award for his television performance at The Montreal Comedy Festival in 2000. Pinette's acting career includes roles alongside Gwenyth Paltrow, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and John Travolta. He is experienced in both film and television and has been featured in programs such as Parker Lewis Can't Lose and starred as a car-jack victim in the final episode of Seinfeld.

More than fifty years ago, a show about New York City changed musical theatre forever. Now, it's coming home to make history once again.
From the first notes to the final breath, WEST SIDE STORY is one of the most memorable musicals and greatest love stories of all time.
Mr. Laurents' book remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever.
The score by Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim - a collection of standards that includes "Tonight," "America," "Maria," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere" - is widely regarded as one of the best ever written. And the extraordinary, Tony-winning winning choreography by Jerome Robbins completely changed the language of Broadway dance.
